for the benefit of your farmer renders 1 de-sire to relate a true story that i think thev will appre ciate there w;is a wealthy farmer named smith \. d upon his fine estate one huiidiea tenants all ihe tenants were poor except one jones who had accumulated some effects around him now farmer smith was rich nnd fond of ease so one d;iv ten ant limes says mr smith it must be i very troublesome job for you to fur nish supplies to all these people so it is says farmer smith well says tenant jones 1 have a proposition to offer that will relieve ymi of all trou ble well what is it asks farmer smith says tenant jones you just furnish me the floods in bulk at say oc for bacon c for flour 50c for meal c and i will retail it to these people nt 12c for bacon 1c for flour and 1 for meal well that is a good idea mow will you secure me 1 will give you go-xl pap l its collateral very good says armor smith but there is another condition mr smith vou must let me have one half my i i ml rent free my my says mr smith then theie is stiil another ,- iiiclil ion says tenant jones you must pay im j a percent interest on in collateral my my mv s:ivs far mi r smith bulmr jones 1 fear the tenants will object to taking the goods from yÂ«u oil just make me your au thorized agent and they will have o take them or starve l.ut mr junes you will get rich and i hey poor and they wiit grumble i have thought of all that says jones i have a friend one plausible who can talk i lieni into anything well well says smith it is a bargain at the end of that year jones bought a top bug gy and a silk dress for his wife and the other tenants bought 5 suits for themselves and calico dresses for their wives but they were humble minded fellows and went t.i work with a will on next crop end of second year jones bought a piano for his daughter and ii brussels carpet for the parlor the olher tenants pit-died their old clothes and their wives worked out for a new frock they began to complain but mr plausible came around and prophesied belter times and they tried again third year round jones richer and the res poorer and discontented plausible comes around and s>rys my dear fellows yon must not blame jones and farmer smith for your poverty why don't you know the tariff on hats is 50 per cent and 110 per cent mi clothiitgand 111 per cent on blank ets how could you help but be poor now these poor fellows couldn't ex actly see how the tariff was keeping them down as they never owned an imported article iu their lives but they i in't know much about it and plausi ble was sharp so they swallowed their discontent and tried again fourth year finds them rich in debts and jones rich in bank notes mr plausi ble is again called in but when he commences talking tariff they all shout blast the tariff and von with it the then march up to farmer smith's office and say k s.c here sly smith we can't stand this any longer we pay you full rent and serve you faith fully while jones pays half rent and loafs we are starving he is getting rich now mr smith we will give you our note with security and vou must issue the rations direct to us iu ste;i i nf through jones 1 now for the moral mr bondholder goes to that vener able o.d patriarch uncle sun and says see here vou are the only con stituted authority for coining money or printing it f n the supreme court says it is all the same now we want to relieve you of the job of issue ing vo ir money well says uncle sam what is your plan we wit place good paper iu your vaults as se curity and you issue us hills at 1 per cent and we will distribute them at in per cent compound interest good 1 says 1 in le sam hut maybe the pio p.e won't take them oh but we have fixed that vu'i must draw in all your greenbacks and make money scarce and thev will give us anything we ask but if that don't fix them jusl demonetize silver and limit its coinage lo t wo million per niont li and that will bring them to terms good good says uncle sam bul who will take your money tin farmers of course they must have il to make crops if thev can give goon city security we will hmd to them di rect if not we will let the supply merchant have it at 10 per cent anil ne will let them have it in goods at fi'iui 25 to 50 per cent good verv good says uncle sam but what il i hose farmers knick which they will do when they find themselves getting poorer under your system oh we have arranged that vou know the politicians are always with the fellow who holds the moneybag if the farmers get discontented we will have our friends tell them it is all from a want of v it y f crops then when that plea fails we will tell them their poverty is all from over produc tion â€” don't produce so much and you will have a lot more but if that argument don't quiet them we will send our friend mr politician around and he will tell them it is all the work ofthe tariff he will tell them up noith the tariff is too low raise the tariff keep out foreign goods build up a home market and you will all get rich then mr politician will put o.-i a new suit changj his mime go south and say down with the robber tariff ier in foreigh products open the mar kets to the world and vou will be masters of the situation well says uncle sam that is good but maybe these dull fallows will find out that your friend politician is something of a knave and has been deceiving them oh by that time we and our friends gould vanderbilt and the boss carriers will be so rich and the farmers so poor that if they kick we will just buy up their leaders and keep on raking in the shekels 1 good very good says uncle sam bring along your paper and you shall have the hills * but hold on savs mr bondholder there are two conditions upon which i will take this trouble off your bonds voir must pay me ah per cent on the paper 1 leave with you and you must exempt that paper from tax ation and i had as well add unit i will expect my interest in gold and that my interest shall be the more valuable 1 must insist that you keep down the silver dollar don't put but so cents worth of metal in it ant coin just as few as possibl ." dear me mr bondholder ! do not want to be inrteoiis but it docs seem thai you are a little unfair vou want my rood loyal tillers of lhe oil to pav you '.' > per cent and me 1 h per cent on the same investment ami whilst thev are taxed on all the have you must have part of your exempt but i don't waul to he impolite to a gentleman of your merits so bring along your paper and get the bills v g steele charlotte n ('. another poet the globe luts made frequent and sometimes

for the benefit of your farmer renders 1 de-sire to relate a true story that i think thev will appre ciate there w;is a wealthy farmer named smith \. d upon his fine estate one huiidiea tenants all ihe tenants were poor except one jones who had accumulated some effects around him now farmer smith was rich nnd fond of ease so one d;iv ten ant limes says mr smith it must be i very troublesome job for you to fur nish supplies to all these people so it is says farmer smith well says tenant jones 1 have a proposition to offer that will relieve ymi of all trou ble well what is it asks farmer smith says tenant jones you just furnish me the floods in bulk at say oc for bacon c for flour 50c for meal c and i will retail it to these people nt 12c for bacon 1c for flour and 1 for meal well that is a good idea mow will you secure me 1 will give you go-xl pap l its collateral very good says armor smith but there is another condition mr smith vou must let me have one half my i i ml rent free my my says mr smith then theie is stiil another ,- iiiclil ion says tenant jones you must pay im j a percent interest on in collateral my my mv s:ivs far mi r smith bulmr jones 1 fear the tenants will object to taking the goods from yÂ«u oil just make me your au thorized agent and they will have o take them or starve l.ut mr junes you will get rich and i hey poor and they wiit grumble i have thought of all that says jones i have a friend one plausible who can talk i lieni into anything well well says smith it is a bargain at the end of that year jones bought a top bug gy and a silk dress for his wife and the other tenants bought 5 suits for themselves and calico dresses for their wives but they were humble minded fellows and went t.i work with a will on next crop end of second year jones bought a piano for his daughter and ii brussels carpet for the parlor the olher tenants pit-died their old clothes and their wives worked out for a new frock they began to complain but mr plausible came around and prophesied belter times and they tried again third year round jones richer and the res poorer and discontented plausible comes around and s>rys my dear fellows yon must not blame jones and farmer smith for your poverty why don't you know the tariff on hats is 50 per cent and 110 per cent mi clothiitgand 111 per cent on blank ets how could you help but be poor now these poor fellows couldn't ex actly see how the tariff was keeping them down as they never owned an imported article iu their lives but they i in't know much about it and plausi ble was sharp so they swallowed their discontent and tried again fourth year finds them rich in debts and jones rich in bank notes mr plausi ble is again called in but when he commences talking tariff they all shout blast the tariff and von with it the then march up to farmer smith's office and say k s.c here sly smith we can't stand this any longer we pay you full rent and serve you faith fully while jones pays half rent and loafs we are starving he is getting rich now mr smith we will give you our note with security and vou must issue the rations direct to us iu ste;i i nf through jones 1 now for the moral mr bondholder goes to that vener able o.d patriarch uncle sun and says see here vou are the only con stituted authority for coining money or printing it f n the supreme court says it is all the same now we want to relieve you of the job of issue ing vo ir money well says uncle sam what is your plan we wit place good paper iu your vaults as se curity and you issue us hills at 1 per cent and we will distribute them at in per cent compound interest good 1 says 1 in le sam hut maybe the pio p.e won't take them oh but we have fixed that vu'i must draw in all your greenbacks and make money scarce and thev will give us anything we ask but if that don't fix them jusl demonetize silver and limit its coinage lo t wo million per niont li and that will bring them to terms good good says uncle sam bul who will take your money tin farmers of course they must have il to make crops if thev can give goon city security we will hmd to them di rect if not we will let the supply merchant have it at 10 per cent anil ne will let them have it in goods at fi'iui 25 to 50 per cent good verv good says uncle sam but what il i hose farmers knick which they will do when they find themselves getting poorer under your system oh we have arranged that vou know the politicians are always with the fellow who holds the moneybag if the farmers get discontented we will have our friends tell them it is all from a want of v it y f crops then when that plea fails we will tell them their poverty is all from over produc tion â€” don't produce so much and you will have a lot more but if that argument don't quiet them we will send our friend mr politician around and he will tell them it is all the work ofthe tariff he will tell them up noith the tariff is too low raise the tariff keep out foreign goods build up a home market and you will all get rich then mr politician will put o.-i a new suit changj his mime go south and say down with the robber tariff ier in foreigh products open the mar kets to the world and vou will be masters of the situation well says uncle sam that is good but maybe these dull fallows will find out that your friend politician is something of a knave and has been deceiving them oh by that time we and our friends gould vanderbilt and the boss carriers will be so rich and the farmers so poor that if they kick we will just buy up their leaders and keep on raking in the shekels 1 good very good says uncle sam bring along your paper and you shall have the hills * but hold on savs mr bondholder there are two conditions upon which i will take this trouble off your bonds voir must pay me ah per cent on the paper 1 leave with you and you must exempt that paper from tax ation and i had as well add unit i will expect my interest in gold and that my interest shall be the more valuable 1 must insist that you keep down the silver dollar don't put but so cents worth of metal in it ant coin just as few as possibl ." dear me mr bondholder ! do not want to be inrteoiis but it docs seem thai you are a little unfair vou want my rood loyal tillers of lhe oil to pav you '.' > per cent and me 1 h per cent on the same investment ami whilst thev are taxed on all the have you must have part of your exempt but i don't waul to he impolite to a gentleman of your merits so bring along your paper and get the bills v g steele charlotte n ('. another poet the globe luts made frequent and sometimes
